Blogger who just visited Ukraine:Everything we have heard about what’s happening in Ukraine is a lie.

"Yet I’ve searched just a little and fighting has been going on since 2014, several thousand Russ living in Eastern Ukr were killed by Ukr shelling. "

No, I'm sorry but you didn't actually research anything, all you really did was guzzle down Russia propaganda KoolAid, directly from the information sewer pipes of the Kremlin's Ministry for Agitation and Propaganda.

Serious research would show you that it's 100% Vlad the Invader doing what Russia's rulers do -- aggress on their smaller neighbors.
Ukraine is only the biggest example, though far from the only one.

"Schumer warns Ukraine will fall if Senate doesn't pass new bill..."

My problem with our Democrats, since Day One in Ukraine, is that they've never had a plan for victory there, only just enough aid to help Ukrainians keep fighting, which to me is insane.

So I think Ukrainians can and will keep up the fight regardless, but only Speaker Johnson has insisted that US aid must be tied to a plan for victory in Ukraine, and victory is something our Democrats can't really bring themselves to do.

Sadly.

Yes, it is insane, as is not accounting for the billions allocated for this.

That is Speaker Johnson's other main complaint, and mine too, but I've heard that in fact someone within the government can account for every dollar and piece of equipment.
Whether anyone in Congress has been kept informed is another question.

oh no

Sounds like this Bruno Kahl is saying pretty much what I and others have been saying here -- it is a permanent fact of human nature that weakness provokes attack from bad-actors like Vlad the Invader.

Kahl is apparently simply saying: if we look weak, Putin will attack us.

I think that's a given.

And I gather that's why you think we should be weak and helpless, you know, to help out with that whole Russkiy mir thing.

And here it is, just a little out of date now.

🚨 I have it on good authority that The Firm™️intends to force through the Ukraine aid portion of the supplemental aid package (minus the border bill) tomorrow.

Do you want to give $60B to Ukraine, knowing that the entire budget of the U.S. Marine Corps in FY2023 was $53.8B?🚨— Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee) February 7, 2024
